Will Mueller Capture His Third Bracelet or Will It Be Baker��s Time to Win His First?
Event #37: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix of the 2012 World Series of Poker has been a long affair. For three days, the field of 477 players tested their skills in Triple-Draw 2-7, Limit Hold'em, Omaha 8, Razz, Stud, Stud 8, No-Limit Hold��em, and Pot Limit Omaha as they played down through the money on their way to a final table.
Yesterday, the final 27 returned to action, and after 11 levels of play, a winner had yet to be determined. That means the final two players, David ��ODB�� Baker and Greg ��FBT�� Mueller, will return to day to battle it out for the gold bracelet and $271,312 first-place prize.
Mueller will enter with 2.655 million chips to Baker��s 925,000, and action will begin on Level 30. With the limits and blinds so high, we anticipate this to be a relatively quick affair, but then again stranger things have happened. The heads-up match is set to recommence at 3 PM PST, which is about an hour from now.
